Everytime I read more about this story, I can't understand how this guy has lived has long as he has without someone shoving a bowling ball down his throat.

And the Mayor seems to be clue resistant, if not actully clue-repellent.......

There's a lot of people I wonder that about...

(Chuckle) Well granted. Still, it makes me wonder when pig-ignorance and stupidity became something to be celebrated and supported. It's not so much that their city has become an international laughing stock, and that they libeled a company in the process, it's that they seem *proud* of this fact.

Our wonderings seem frequently to track along the same lines.
